Paper gold? Outperformed physical gold bars sitting in your vault. Paper silver? Same story—delivered stronger returns than the actual metal.
What's the takeaway? Stop letting the tinfoil hat crowd cloud your judgment. Those "they're manipulating everything" narratives sound compelling until you check the actual performance data. Numbers don't lie.
Sure, holding physical metal gives you that tangible security feeling. But if we're talking pure investment returns, the paper versions have consistently delivered better results. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the right one—market efficiency works, even when it doesn't fit the conspiracy narrative.
Track the data yourself. Compare the charts. Make decisions based on evidence, not fear-mongering.

The data speaks for itself: paper gold truly outperforms spot trading, there's nothing to argue about.

Paper gold indeed can be effective, but I still have a feeling of holding assets in hand.

Data speaks for itself, but what do we use when the big crash really happens?
---
I get this logic, but don’t rely too much on the market efficiency theory...
---
Haha, here we go again, it still depends on how you allocate your assets.
---
High paper gains are impressive, but liquidity is the real test at that moment.
---
Damn, that makes sense. I need to review my ledger and compare.
---
Anyway, I hold both, just to be safe.
---
This perspective is interesting, but what about the year when the fund爆雷?
---
Wake up, if the market were that efficient, there would be no arbitrage opportunities anymore.

Paper gold can indeed be effective, but I still trust spot trading and don't deceive people.

The data is right there; it’s an unavoidable fact.
---
Wait, isn't this logic a bit too absolute? How is the risk calculated?
---
Alright, I admit I might be overthinking it haha.
---
Another voice saying "Trust the data," but what about real black swan events?
---
That sounds comfortable to hear, but how many times has paper-based assets collapsed in history... have you forgotten?
---
Wow, starting again to advise us not to listen to "conspiracy theories." This routine feels pretty familiar.
---
Honestly, short-term paper gold might be more attractive, but I value sleep quality over that price difference.
---
The data looks good, but I just want to ask: which year's data are you referring to?
---
I have to say, this point hits some people's pain points.

NGL data is right there, paper gold has indeed beaten the bricks hidden in the vault.
Wait, do you really believe that stacking gold bars can protect assets? I laughed.
The data speaks for itself; don't be brainwashed by conspiracy theories.
It's really a matter of market efficiency, nothing that complicated.
Paper metal returns far outperform spot, isn't that old news?
Interesting market observation here.
